Changelings are invading the pristine, marble-lined streets of Canterlot, leaving destruction and terror in their wake. Octavia, the classical musician pony with brown fur and a slick black mane, is fighting off as many attackers as she can.

She takes one of the black insectoid invaders to the ground in a chokehold. It squirms and writhes, trying to escape, but she keeps her arm wrapped tightly around the changeling's throat. Its kicks and twitches slow, and weaken, until it finally falls still. She lets it flop into the grass.

Another changeling fires off a distress signal into the sky, then turns, only to see Octavia holding a metal shopping cart. She hurls the trolley at the changeling, instantly knocking it unconscious, or perhaps worse.

But the reinforcements arrive! Three more changelings surround Octavia, two hovering above the ground, one standing on all fours. She scans the surroundings, assessing her options.
